bay. we'll let you know how those lanes for 680 fare coming up. and taking a live look outside, pretty nice way to start a monday morning across the bay area. full look at the forecast on this monday, september 17th. this is "today in the bay." good morning to you and thanks for joining us. 5:00, i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> and i'm jon kelley. today marks one year since the beginning of the occupy movement nationwide and demonstrations are being planned here in the bay area and coast-to-coast to mark the day. christie smith is joining us live from san francisco where those demonstrations could create big-time issues for traffic in the financial district. christie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, jon. this is the event before the event so it's kind of a small group, only about a half dozen occupy demonstrators out here camping in the financial district, but they say their numbers will grow with events

planned all day to mark the one-year anniversary of the occupy movement. these demonstrators started gathering last night at california street and kearney in front of a building that houses some of the larger financial institutions that they are protesting against. one year later they say you don't see those large camp-outs like you used to, but the movement hasn't gone away, it's just gotten more focused. >> as the movement grew and blossomed, i think different groups started realizing they had different focuses. so you have a work that works continually on stopping foreclosures. you have another group, the action council, which brings together community groups. >> reporter: here's what's going on today. at noon a group focused on stopping foreclosures plans to gather at the war memorial building in san francisco. then at 1:00 what they're calling a mobile street party, that starts at justin herman plaza. they're going to be taking off around 2:00. then at 3:00 a group plans to

bring trash bags to one investment group at one market plaza. then at 5:00, that's the big anniversary celebration in a march at california and kearney followed by a 6:00 p.m. event, what they're calling a debt-burning and street festival. so certainly something to keep in mind if you're in san francisco today. reporting live in san francisco, christie smith, "today in the bay." 5:02. new this morning, angry protests continue to grow over a low-budget anti-muslim film proud in the u.s. in pakistan, one person was killed, dozens injured when anti-american protesters tried to storm the u.s. consulate in karachi. they have clashed with police for several hours. in kabul hundreds of protesters have been burning cars and throwing rocks at a u.s. military base. the mob also burned tires, shipping containers and one police car as they chanted "death to america." there's also been at least two more so-called insider attacks in afghanistan.

four u.s. service members were killed, two others wounded. a local afghan official says the americans were lured in by afghan police who called for help, saying they were under attack by insurgents. when the americans arrived, the afghan police turned their guns on them. on the same day, an afghan soldier turned his weapon on a vehicle he believed was driven by nato soldiers on a base in the south. an international civilian worker was injured. back here at home, a san jose neighborhood is calling for new traffic safety measures after an 8-year-old boy was struck and killed by a pickup truck. this all happened on farm drive near highway 87 just before 8:00 on friday night. since then, a memorial has been growing for matthew dinn. police say he was riding a small electric bike when he drove it out of his driveway and out into the street. that's when the truck hit him and matthew was sadly killed. now family and neighbors are calling for improved safety on their busy street, including speed bumps and more

streetlights. the driver has been cooperating with police and the accident right now remains under investigation. this morning a menlo park school is trying to rise from the ashes after a massive fire gutted part of the campus last week. just hours from now, children will return to school for the first time. "today in the bay's" bob redell is live in menlo park with a look at what comes next for the damaged beechwood school. >> reporter: good morning to you, laura. this past weekend staff and parents tried to erase any image or any issues with the fire. you can see all that remains is the dirt where the school building used to stand. there were three issues concerning whether or not they would be open this morning. one was city approval for repairs to the plumbing and electrical which they did receive. two, finding space for a third grade since it was their class that burned down. the school identified three options for temporary housing. and then supplies lost in the fire. the school had received some donations from the community to tie them over until insurance money kicks on. bottom line, they're ready to be

back up and running later this morning. the fire department believes it was a pinched electrical cord in the back of a kitchen range that started this fire early thursday morning. it did destroy a portable structure that not only housed that third grade class but the office as well. there were no fire sprinklers inside nor a monitored alarm. according to the fire chief, although it is a good idea to have those, they aren't required in modular structures, because they're considered temporary. even though this one had been in use since the mid-1980s, it was perfectly legal not to have those items. the school tells us they did pass their annual fire inspections and would have installed those systems if told to do so. it turns out the school will replace all those modular structures on campus with a permanent building next summer, one that will have a better fire suppression system. though the school could start construction sooner given that they are now down offices and one class room. beechwood is a nonprofit private school with just over 170 students in k through 8 and

mostly come from low-income homes from neighborhoods here on the peninsula. reporting live here at menlo park, bob redell, "today in the bay." police asking for your help trying to track down the suspect in a bank robbery and car fire. the hunt started after a robbery at the wells fargo bank on santa cruz avenue near highway 82 friday afternoon. the suspect escaped in a stolen honda accord which was then found burning several minutes later in an apartment complex two blocks from that bank. witnesses saw the suspect get into the trunk of the car parked next to the honda which then drove away. if you happen to have any information, you're asked to please call menlo park police. union city police are on the hunt for a sexual assault and robbery suspect. investigators say it all started when the suspect robbed a woman at gunpoint a week ago. she was walking aloan around 10:30 at night. the suspect forced her to the

ground, took her money and attempted to sexually assault her. the attacker took off after being spooked by a passing car. police only have a vague description saying he had dark hair, medium build and tattoo on the right side of his neck. a recent spike in violent crime has leaders and the police union pointing fingers over who's to blame in this. tomorrow night the city council holding a meeting on police response to recent crimes and gang activity. at the very same time the police union is holding a crime prevention meeting in the east part of san jose. san jose police officers and association president jim undland says the union meeting will empower residents after a recent crime wave spurred by police layoffs. but a councilwoman claims the timing of the meeting is a police union tactic. many officers claim the city's pension reform measures have actually driven experienced officers away. it is the last week of summer. what are we in store for?

let's check in with meteorologist rob mayeda. >> it's hard to believe. we are talking about the last five days of summer. you know, we've got some cooler temperatures on the way today and even cooler temperatures approaching next weekend. this morning you're seeing a lot of low clouds, even out towards the east bay this morning. 40s and 50s outside. look at the winds now in fairfield, up to 26 miles per hour. so the onshore breeze reaching solano county. and, yes, spinning those wind farms up there by the altamont pass this morning. so with winds coming in off the ocean, daytime temperature is going to be running cooler. it's going to take some time for these clouds to break up. as we head towards lunchtime, sunshine inland but patchy low clouds around san francisco and filling in again as we head towards this evening. hour by hour, dress in layers today. you'll need a light jacket for the morning and t-shirt weather for the afternoon out towards the east bay and south bay, but no 90s on the board. again, temperatures cooling down today, a sign of things to come for the middle part of the week. a bit warmer thursday and then fall starting on saturday there, mike.

>> you know what, we're looking at fall traffic patterns as well so expect the same today. monday starts the build. we're looking toward the earlier issue, the disabled vehicle cleared from 680. the yellow in the northbound direction out of san ramon not a concern. it's just down to about 60. really don't worry about it, no lanes blocked and just a lighter flow of traffic changing those averages. east 580 coming out of castro valley toward the dublin interchange, we do have a stall blocking the slow lane and see a little slowing approaching the area as chp arrives on scene. westbound your commute through castro valley and the y, no problems here. on the foster city peninsula side heading towards 101, these headlights have no issues and 101 moves smoothly at the limit. you know this one well, san jose roadway known for its heavy traffic. it's actually getting a facelift. caltrans will break ground on a fruj improve the 101 interchange at east capital expressway.

yeah, that's great. in this day and age, yeah, that's tremendous. >> reporter: now fans also say having a winning season like this is good for oakland team spirit and it's more reason for the a's to stay an not move to san jose. that decision is still needing to be made by mlb commissioner bud selig, who may decide by the end of the year. the a's are off today but then it's 16 straight days to the regular season finish line. if they keep up the wins, wild card playoff games begin october 5th and those playoff tickets for the a's go on sale starting today at 10:00. you can find those yop line or right here at the box office at the oakland coliseum. and yes, those tickets are refundable in case things go the other direction for the a's. let's hope not. live in oakland, marla tellez, "today in the bay." >> i thought you were going to say and, yes, i'll stand in line for you. across the bay the giants aren't a lock for the playoffs

53 points to 13,593, a 2% gain for the week last week. the nasdaq raising 28 points to 3183, powered higher by an all-time high for aem. today also marks the anniversary of the occupy wall street movement. demonstrators are headed back to manhattan's financial district for coordinated protests, including at the new york stock exchange. a dozen participants were arrested over the weekend during a march on saturday. rallies are also scheduled in more than 30 cities around the world. scott. >> hampton, thank you much. on friday, the korean pop star was on the "today" show. i don't know if you got a chance to see this. >> oh, i'm sorry i missed it. >> he is number one on the itunes chart. his youtube video, 290 million views on youtube. that is 20 million people fewer than there are in the united states. it's also six times the number of people who live in korea.

i'm only counting south korea, i'm assuming in north korea, the supreme leader probably has his own videos. >> even if he is a one-hit wonder, he's going to do very well. >> he was on the "today" show and also made a quick cameo on snl saturday night. >> really. >> the guy's on fire. >> speaking of on fire, we've got rob mayeda. >> we do have low clouds this morning. let's show you some of the temperatures you're waking up to this morning. 50s for most of us around the bay area but novato at 46 is the cool spot. we do have low clouds and the sea breeze reaching into fairfield. southwest wind at 26 miles per hour and low clouds into the santa clara valley this morning. all signs point to a bit of a cooler day today. we'll probably still see a few low 80s and this trend will hold up through the middle part of the week before we warm up some

thursday and friday. right now the satellite/radar view very quiet. yesterday we had high clouds coming in that made for a gorgeous sunset. and the jetstream pattern to the west of us kind of interesting. the storm track is off to the north but we have the subtropical jet moving across central california, not tossing rain our way but the occasional high cloud or two and the winds keeping the fog entrenched on the coast. clearing skies inland but with that sea breeze, our temperatures inland today not in the 90s but some 80s well inland. danville, pleasanton, sunol, some low 80s, but 70s back towards castro valley and into hayward and oakland, actually 60s. 62 san francisco, low 70s around the north bay thanks to the winds out of the south, we should see cooling temperatures there. not much change for now through wednesday. clouds on the coast and then thursday and friday should be the warmer days of the week. then, wow, summer stops. fall begins saturday morning and right on schedule, temperatures

cooling down. mike. >> well, your transition on the roadway is looking a little smoother than that sudden stop into the summer and into the winter. we have a slower drive westbound coming toward the dublin interchange so the commute direction starting to build. we do have the eastbound direction with that stall reported right around the foothill center off-ramp, that is not an issue as far as the speeds are concerned but watch it if you are using that san ramon off-ramp. chp is not on the scene so i don't have much more detail and it may very well be gone. we talked about your commute, there are slowing speeds in the 40s coming toward the altamont pass but still a smooth drive through livermore. the south bay at san jose moves nicely, no slowing for 101 or the rest of your northbound commutes through the south bay. 101 continues up through palo alto at the limit. as you pass by university and head north, let's get a live look out there. north past willow, a little slowing. some flashing lights at the top, looks like someone is tapping their brakes. no incidents reported just now. and oakland moves smoothly through the earlier construction

zone which has cleared now all the way up toward downtown. back to you. all b.a.r.t. trains running back on schedule this morning despite a small explosion at the civic center station yesterday. around 1:30 yesterday afternoon, riders say they heard a boom and saw heavy smoke coming from that station. b.a.r.t. evacuated the area and shut down all service for nearly an hour. after investigation, crews determined a brake overload on a train was the problem. luckily, no one was hurt. a dream for a south bay little league team getting a big league honor before tonight's san francisco giants home game. check this out. san francisco's blossom valley all stars getting recognized for winning this year's pony mustang world series. this team is made up of kids 10 years old and under. they beat a national team from puerto rico. they beat them 10-1. blossom valley becoming the very first northern california team to win that title in 40 years. on wednesday night, the giants will honor petaluma's national

welcome back on this monday morning. it's 5:25. anybody applying to cal state this school year is receiving a warning letter instead of the typical note thanking them for their interest. that letter warns prospective students that the spots they hope to fill could evaporate if the governor's push to raise taxes in november fail. now an anti-tax group says that letter is illegal. they claim the letter violates a law preventing the use of government resources to fund a

political campaign. csu officials deny the letter is political. a well-known morning radio dj is out of a job. after 16 years at the mike, greg kin will not be on kfox this morning. the station management announced friday they were going a different direction. kin says he'll use the time to work on a novel -- a screenplay, rather, for cable television and his band will be playing more gigs. he also says he plans to be back on the radio soon. >> for the youngsters out there, the greg kin band was huge in the '80s. >> big-time. let's check in with rob mayeda. got some low-hanging clouds and a cool start to the day. >> that sea breeze really picks up overnight and you'll notice it in livermore and pleasanton this morning. look at that wind in fairfield, southwest at 26 miles per hour, so dress in layers today. light jackets should be fine for the morning and then for the afternoon should see numbers in the low 80s out near the tri-valley and close to morgan hill, but this mild pattern is

the sign of things to come. last few days of summer through friday, temperatures staying in the 80s, cooling off saturday morning. we just saw a little slowing northbound. the taillights gathering around willow, that's the northbound side, but you know a debris reported on the southbound side. there may be a traffic break going on. the map shows you no slowing of any appreciable measure through the area but it is right there around willow of the also construction south 101, the off-ramp at cesar chavez and at paul but the freeway is moving smoothly. still to come on "today in the bay" prosecutors getting set to lay out their case against a woman accused of killing an east bay nursing student. plus a cross-country mystery. the growing search for a bay area man who simply vanished from a moving train, and how his family hopes you'll get involved.

good morning. i'm rob re del. we're live on the peninsula where classes will resume this

monday morning after a devastating fire last thursday at a menlo park school. >> reporter: and it's been one year since the occupy movement started and demonstrators are camping out right now. they have a day of events planned. i'm christie smith. i'll tell you how you could be impacted coming up. and it's the last few days of summer but cooler changes in the seven-day forecast could have some of you surprised in some of our inland valleys. we'll have a look at that coming up. we don't want any surprises for you out on the roads so i'm looking out for that debris on the peninsula. more updates coming up. right now we'll give you a live look over san jose. some of those clouds are clearing out on this monday, september 17th. this is "today in the basemen basement" -- bay." good monday morning, everybody. we are happy you could join us, it's 5:30, i'm jon kelley. >> and i'm laura garcia-cannon. it is back to school for

thousands of kids across the bay area, but for dozens in menlo park, it's going to mean a little more. they're coming back for the first time since a fire gutted part of their school last week. bob redell joins us live in menlo park with what comes next for the damaged beechwood school. >> reporter: good morning, laura. if you were to come here and look through these gates, you wouldn't think there had been a fire here. all you see is that dirt patch here. this weekend the staff and parents did clean up what was left of the modular structure that burned down early thursday morning. they also received approval from the city in terms of the electrical and plumbing systems they had repaired to get permission to reopen, so they will reopen today. the one issue that was a big issue was finding a temporary space for the third graders whose classroom was destroyed. they did find that and they have also had supplies donated so they can get class resumed just in a couple hours from now. now, the fire department believes it was a pinched electrical cord in the back of a kitchen range that started this

fire early thursday morning. it did destroy that portable structure that not only housed that third grade class but the front office as well. turns out there were no sprinklers, nor was there a monitored alarm. according to the fire chief, they aren't required in modular structures because those structures are considered temporary, even though this one had been in use since the mid-1980s, it was still legal. the school tells us they did pass their annual fire inspection and would have installed those systems if told to. now, it turns out the school will be replacing all modular structures on campus with a permanent building next summer, one that will most likely have ké÷ suppression system, though the school could start construction sooner given the fact they are down offices in one classroom. by the way, beechwood is a private school but a nonprofit school with just over 170 k through 8 students, most of them from low income families in the surrounding neighborhoods here in menlo park. reporting live here in menlo

park, bob redell, "today in the bay." this morning there's a growing mystery aboard an amtrak train. a san mateo family desperate for any answers after this man, 69-year-old charles dowd, vanished while traveling across the country on amtrak. dowd is a retired san francisco firefighter who planned to take the amtrak to visit family in montreal. he left on the train wednesday but never made it to his destination. now, his family last heard from dowd when he called thursday evening saying the train was just leaving denver. on friday he was set to make a connection on a train in chicago but he didn't show up. his cell phone, medications and luggage were found in a sleeping car but there was no sign of dowd. the last time he was actually seen was reportedly early friday in omaha, nebraska. >> there's an unconfirmed report that a conductor spoke with him at the very early morning hours on friday morning, and so i am hoping against hope that that's a true story. >> dowd's daughter says the

conductor of the train did tell police the 69-year-old at times seemed disoriented. the family is right now traveling to omaha to circulate missing person fliers and to work with police and also they set up a facebook page hoping to get the word out. now, we contacted amtrak this morning. they're telling us this is still an active investigation. amtrak has met with dowd's family members and they are currently working very closely with local police departments along the train's route and they are trying right now very hard to find dowd. >> and just hours from now search teams will be back out in napa county hooking for a fisherman who fell off a bridge. a 26-year-old was fishing with friends over the napa river around 2:30 yesterday morning. friends say he fell in and started drifting downstream. they say he was not a strong swimmer, but did know how to float. the search for him was called off yesterday afternoon but will resume after first light this morning. laura, it was one year ago

today thousands began gathering occupying wall street and other city centers across the nation. to mark that anniversary, a new round of protests right now expected in san francisco and other places coast to coast n new york we have a live look. occupiers got an early start out there for this so-called celebration. nearly 300 have now marched near wall street and the number is quickly growing. police have already arrested more than a dozen protesters out there in new york. back here at home, "today in the bay's" christie smith is live in the financial district with more on what they expect right here and why this one could cause some headaches and big-time problems for drivers in the area. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, jon. you know, we haven't seen them much lately but this is actually familiar territory for the occupy movement. they have been at this exact corner many times before. right now about a half dozen occupy demonstrators are out here camps in the financial district, marking the one-year anniversary of the movement. now, i spoke with one occupier

this morning who said that you may not see them as much around in large groups like you used to camping and demonstrating, but that's because they have gotten more focused with certain groups dealing more with things like foreclosures and housing issues while others are handling what they're calling unfair banking practices. this occupation is what they call the bankers heart which houses some of the largest financial institutions they have been protesting against, but it really kicks off a day of events going on downtown and in the financial district. they say one year later, they think they have made a real difference. >> nobody before talked about how we have so much wealth concentrated in 1% and that wealth is going to war, to weapons, to financial speculation and it's not going to create a productive world. it's not -- we're not investing in people, we're not investing in the future, we're investing in short-term profits. >> reporter: so here's what you need to know. at noon, a group focused on stopping foreclosures plans to

gather at the san francisco war memorial building. then at 1:00, what they're calling a mobile street party. people will be gathering at justin herman plaza. they take off at 2:00. at 3:00, another group plans to bring trash bags to one investment group at one market plaza. then 5:00, a march that starts here at california and kearney. but then that's not it. that's followed by another event at 6:00 p.m. and they're calling that the debt burning and street festival. reporting live in san francisco, christie smith, "today in the bay." 5:37. the woman accused of killing hayward nursing student michelle le is due in court today. the pretrial hearing is set to begin exactly one year to the day after le's body was found. esteban is charged with murder. police say le's blood was found on her shoes and they tracked both cell phones to the same location the night le

disappeared. a father charged with kidnapping his children, then sailing away with them in a stolen yacht is expected to enter a plea in that case today. prosecutors say the man took his two children from their mother's home in south san francisco, then stole a yacht from an alameda harbor and sailed out to the coast. in court last week, he claims he was trying to save his children from an abusive home. the children's mother had recently sought a restraining order against him. 5:38 right now. after a couple of weeks of toasty temperatures out there, it looks like the reality of fall is starting to set in. rob mayeda is in for christina loren to tell us about it. >> that's right. we're seeing some falling temperatures for inland valleys today and this morning you might see the reason why when you step outside. low clouds, mostly mid-50s outside. temperatures not too chilly thanks to the fact those low clouds spreading inland act like a blanket for those temperatures in the morning. but there you see the winds in fairfield, that sea breeze strong. so 60s and 70s for most of the bay area today.

inland, maybe a few low 80s, but the coast and bay, it's going to be a little more like june weather where that fog hangs out on the coast and sticks around during the day. midday we'll get clearing skies inland and the low clouds filling back in again as we head towards the evening. high temperatures, low 80s will be the warmer temperatures we see mainly south of san jose down towards morgan hill. livermore 80 degrees. fairfield 82. but look at the north bay, low 70s today. 62 in san francisco and, yes, lots of low clouds on the coast. from now through wednesday not much change. as we go towards thursday and friday, those will be two of the warmer days this week and fall gets started saturday morning and temperatures falling down appropriately this weekend. mike. looking over here as you go over the high rise toward the peninsula side of the bay, we're going to go over to the maps and we'll straighten out everything for you. san mateo and palo alto moving smoothly, despite the debris reported southbound 101 at willow. a smooth drive, no traffic break as far as we've been told by chp, but we did see some

slowing. the rest of the south bay, your northbound routes is showing a nice drive. 101 at 680 at the bottom right of your screen. let's get a live look and show you the volume picking up. speeds are coming down into the upper 50s because of that volume of traffic here. and the bay bridge also showing a bump for the cash lanes, you've got to wait now on the lanes over to your left, but to the right of the fastrak lanes you're still moving smoothly so keep that in mind as you approach. back to you. it is 5:40. apparently nasa didn't clear things with mother nature. yeah, there's been a little bit of a delay right now. the new delay for "endeavour's" final voyage and when you'll be able to see it soar over the bay area. >> reporter: and playoff tickets for the oakland a's go on sale today but the a's haven't clinched the playoff spot yet. good morning, i'm marla tellez live at the coliseum. i'll explain still ahead.

good monday morning to you. government officials say they are expecting more deadly protests in the middle east this week against that low-budget anti-islamic video that was made in the u.s. in the meantime, u.s. military leaders are trying to figure out how to prevent future deadly attacks on u.s. troops by the afghans they're supposed to be fighting alongside of. tracie potts is live on capitol hill and joins us now with the very latest. >> reporter: laura, good morning. actually we saw some of those demonstrations early this morning in afghanistan. thousands of people burning cars and chanting "death to america" in kabul and other areas of the country. a couple of people killed in demonstrations in pakistan on sunday. in fact so far this has spread to 20 different nations. in tunisia and sudan, the state department pulled its people out except for essential personnel. and the fbi not yet able to get into benghazi where the u.s. wants to know exactly what happened, who was behind the deaths of our ambassador and

three other u.s. state department employees there. susan rice, the u.n. ambassador, said they had no warning of an imminent attack but extremists with weapons readily available in libya just showed up at these demonstrations. that's not what we're hearing from the libyan national congress. the head of that says this is a well-planned attack. foreigners who came into libya for months had planned this attack. meantime in afghanistan, as you mentioned, we've had two attacks with six u.s. soldiers killed. those so-called insider attacks, because they're believed to have been perpetrated by the very afghan forces we're supposed to be training. laura. >> very interesting. thank you. new this morning, time to talk a little baseball. the a's have 16 games left in the regular season. they currently sit atop the american league wild card race, but that's good news, hardly a guarantee for a playoff spot but it's not stopping the team from selling those postseason tickets and that starts this morning. marla tellez is live in oakland

where some of those tickets are going for rock bottom prices. marla, good eveninmorning. sounds like some sweet deals out the there. >> reporter: according to the a's website tickets are starting at $15 a pop and they are going on sale right here at the a's box office just a little later this morning. the a's proving this season that the giants are not the only mlb team to cheer for in the bay area, even though they lost to the baltimore orioles on the road last night. they still have won eight of their last ten games. their regular season record right now stands at 84-62. and their future looks bright. with the playoffs right around the corner, they have a two-game lead on baltimore for the top american league wild card spot, and fans are taking notice. especially happy to hear that tickets are starting so low at $15. >> for any major sport now, especially with the raider

tickets being so expensive. >> yeah, maybe i'll take the family out there. >> reporter: on the other side of the coin, tickets go as high as $225. that is for the diamond level. the a's have a day off today on this monday, ahead of a straight 16-day game schedule. if they keep up the wins, wild card playoffs begin october 5th. and the oakland a's playoff tickets go on sale at 10:00 this morning. you can purchase them online on the a's website, oakland athletics.com, or right here at the box office at the coliseum. and the little caveat is that they are refundable. you will get your $15 back in case the a's don't end up making the playoffs. live in oakland, marla tellez, "today in the bay." on the other side of the bay they have not announced exactly when their playoff tickets will go on sale but the boys in orange have 16 games left in the season. they're leading the dodgers by

seven and a half games in the national league west. the giants' final series of the season will be in l.a. the team has said tickets for the playoffs might start selling on september 24th or the 25th. >> it is 5:47 right now. the g-men are looking good at the ball yard but rob mayeda is telling us if we're going to a home game at at&t park, going to be that time of year when it's cold. >> it is orange sweatshirts the standard attire this time of year. we've got low clouds all the way in this morning, a sign of cooler changes as we get your workweek started on this full week of summer. 50s outside across the board for most places thanks to the low clouds that moved inland overnight. it trapped the heat of the day before so we don't drop off temperaturewise when you have low clouds all the way in and up and down the salinas valley. wind speed very important. when you get winds at 26 miles per hour at this hour in fairfield, you know the low clouds have spilled all the way in right there near travis

airway boulevard there on interstate 80. as you can see, we've got clear skies inland around midday, stronger onshore winds so it's the ocean air conditioning effect. which means inland temperatures 70s to low 80s of the out on the coast as we get into late september and october, we're used to seeing offshore winds which clear things out. not the case this week, though. the fog will be more or less entrenched for the better part of the first half of the week. satellite/radar feed doesn't show anything in the form of thunderstorms. the mon tosoon moisture has sta off to the east. subtropical jet tossing a few high clouds our way which made for the gorgeous sunset last night. low clouds staying on the coast for the afternoon, clearing skies midday. with the sea breeze coupled with those low clouds, coastal temperatures only in the 60s. 75 san jose, low 80s around pleasanton and sunol. those will bow a couple of warmer locations we'll see and south winds into the north bay. you're looking at highs only into the mid-70s. if you like mild temperatures,

the first half of the week looks pretty good. thursday and friday could see a little warming inland but not that much. then fall gets started right around 7:39, i believe, saturday morning. temperatures cooling off. more clouds for the upcoming weekend, mike. >> all right, we'll look forward to that. a little bit of a change at the bay bridge toll plaza as well. we have these cash lanes that are starting to stack up. both sides of the fastrak lanes are the advantage right now. as you approach, a smooth drive. 24 starts to show a little slowing between highway 13, 580 the maze. and the slowing at the toll plaza. but overall the east shore freeway moves nicely through berkeley and emeryville. we do have a minor accident reported right at cutting boulevard approaching the merge and the racetrack, so this may be an issue. they can't clear that from lanes the next couple of minutes. we do see a little slowing but that may be due to the volume of traffic as well. the north bay looks like a nice drive. southbound picks up the volume but not lowering the pace at all. 101 on the peninsula moves

smoothly as well through palo alto. this is the northbound side with the headlights past the shopping centering. southbound all the way into san jose or throughout the south bay. we'll check out fremont as well with the southbound direction south of the dumbarton bridge, a little slower as you're approaching mission but speeds still around 60 and that's not a big deal. back to you. 5:50. the space shuttle "endeavour's" final flight has hit a snag. it was supposed to leave today for a nationwide tour ending in los angeles, but whether has postponed that flight until at least tomorrow. low flyovers are still planned along cape canavarel and at nasa facilities from mississippi all the way to the bay area. "endeavour" is expected to fly over the golden gate bridge and nasa ames in mountain view on thursday before heading to its final home at the california science center in los angeles. what a sight that will be. >> that will be very cool seeing that over the san francisco bay. i remember when it was going over the statue of liberty in

new york, very, very cool. 5:50 right now. coming up, the sharks and the nhl facing a lockout. plus the niners implementing a new security plan at last night's opener. what fans are saying about the beefed-up security. >> reporter: and more pressure on youtube to completely ban that controversial video. we'll take a look at the issue coming up. good morning! wow.

want to start the day with something heart healthy and delicious? you're a talking bee... honey nut cheerios has whole grain oats that can help lower cholesterol. and it tastes good? sure does! right... ♪ wow. delicious, right? yeah. it's the honey, it makes it taste so... ♪ well, would you look at the time... what's the rush? be happy. be healthy.

and a good monday to you. it's 5:53. you know the 49ers adding an extra layer of defense, not so much on the field but in the stands. the team had undercover san francisco police officers dressed up as both 49ers and detroit lion fans during yesterday's first regular season home game at candle stick park. they also posted signs with a number for security that fans could text or call.

security didn't just target unruly fans but scalpers selling fake tickets and people selling fake merchandise. meantime on the ice, not a lot of action. it is official, the nhl is in a lockout. the collective bargaining agreement expired saturday night an so far it does not appear a new deal is anywhere in sight. that's not great to hear. now, the san jose sharks asking for a little patience this weekend, releasing a statement that says in part, our fans and partners are our number one priority. we appreciate your patience and ask that you continue to bear with us. we hope to see you and nhl action back at hp pavilion very soon. now, the players and owners are at odds over how to split up revenue. training camp was supposed to open up this week. opening day scheduled for october 11th. so far, the league has not cancelled any games, but it looks like they probably will. the league -- this marks the fourth work stoppage since back in 1992. the last one wasn't good, ended up cancelling the entire season.

5:54 now. over the weekend, google expanded its ban on the controversial anti-islamic video. though, scott mcgrew, not as much as the white house had hoped. >> reporter: that's right. reports say the obama administration specifically asked google to consider a pretty wide ban on the trailer, "the innocence of muslims." google declined. it has blocked access this morning in malaysia. the video also unavailable in india and indonesia. that's because it violates local law in those countries. google also denies access in libya and egypt, not because of local law but as a special exception because of this violence there. yahoo! has not banned any blackberry phones but won't be offering them either. ceo marissa mayer offering yahoo! employees any smartphone they want. iphone, samsung, nokia. but not the blackberry. it's missing from the list. just a few years ago, blackberry was a sign you were a big-deal executive, but no longer.

and the wink el voss twins back in the news. they're investing in a social network called sum zero. the last time those three came together they invented facebook, at least according to their side of the story. facebook shares had their best week ever last week. stock is likely to open lower this morning. the white house making a formal complaint to the world trade organization over china's sale of cheap car parts and there's a protest planned outside the nyse this morning marking the first anniversary of the occupy movement. laura and jon. 5:56 right now. day one of your workweek. let's check in in rob mayeda. >> we have a lot of low clouds into our inland valleys this morning and look at the breeze into fairfield. if you're driving across the benicia bridge, hang on. winds at times up to 26 miles per hour which ensures we'll see a cooler day today for inland valleys. 60s from oakland over to san francisco, mid-70s in san jose and really not much change for the middle part of the week.

slight warmup inland thursday into friday. also hold on to the bridge. here's the bay bridge. the cash lanes got the backup. we'll show you also for the east shore freeway on the maps an issue coming through richmond but the accident reported now in the hov lane. that is not a major issue. your commuter lanes are open except for folks heading through the area. the benicia bridge moves smoothly for 680. also this is coming over the san mateo bridge, smooth flow for 92. back to you. it is 5:57 right now. still ahead, a new warning for everybody in one east bay city this morning after a woman is rocked and almost sexually assaulted. [ female announcer ] pillsbury crescents on their own are wonderful

...but add some ham and cheese ...roll them up in some crescent dough and tada, thursday is now... a ham & cheese crescent roll-up wonder pillsbury crescents, let the making begin.

that's been wrapped in a flaky crust stuffed with a gooey center toasted up all golden brown then given a delicious design? a toaster strudel. pillsbury toaster strudel. so delicious...so fun. back in session. a peninsula school rising from the ashes today after that massive fire. and whatever happened to occupy? how activists are rallying today
